Time and money they don’t want to invest in unique animations and art assets.
I believe Druid and Shaman will eventually come, they make a lot of sense for Dracthyr. Shame they’re holding off, but it’s not surprising.
I wouldn’t count on Monk because of roll and designing the Dracthyr Form to roll.
Do you mean it? Really?
I’m sure it’s animations. Would you like some options now, or all options when they’re all done?
Interesting.
EDIT: Reread the post. They are just getting a new squadron thing to fly with you when you soar. Neat.
I am very excited for this, but I am a disappointed in the variety of classes available. Since the dracthyr are made from the essence of all dragonflights, they should be easy shoe-ins for classes that use elemental magic like shaman and druid. Druid especially since one of their magic forms are green and directly tied to the Emerald Dream.
I hope to see dracthyr be able to become shaman and druids in the near future, as well as shaman, druid, and paladins become available to more races.
I don’t care. Monks aren’t my thing.
I’m just pointing out I think it’s weird they’re leaving Monks out.
Well, actually, it’s entirely possible we will still get paladin.
Paladin is one the classes with additional assets that have to be made for each race, so it’s more work than just simply “flipping a switch.”
So, during DF, we saw Priest & Mage & Rogue & Warlock go to every race. None of which have any additional assets for the class.
But things like Druid, Shaman, Paladin all have individual racial assets. So, when blizz does do one of those classes to make them more available to more races, it’s likely we’ll see dracthyr get 1 or more of those classes.
cool so now i can try more classes with the ugliest race in more time gated content.
They were told they were bad decisions and went ahead with them anyway. Now it’s just arbitrary where those rules are/aren’t applied.
I hope theres a glyph to go back to the old shaman ascendance form, i do like it but idk why theres only a female looking version
Very odd they didn’t include Monk.
There’s so much potential for cool Ascendance forms for Shaman and that’s what they came up with? Nothing about it looks Shaman-like. The head and hair in particular are awful.
Oooo I misread that post again. I thought Dracthyr were getting shamans and a custom Ascendent form.
But they are just updating them. Alright then.
Those models look like clowns.
Can’t wait for Dracthyr classes to open up.
The real question is when will the rest of the classes open up for all races?
And
When are we getting BFA timewalking?
I have a ton of time badges and nothing to spend them on and would like to buy BFA rep since I missed that expansion.
So, through Warrior, we’ll finally get a Dracthyr tank.
I think the tail swipe/wing buffet and glide is part of the Dracthyr, but I def think allowing any class Drac other than Evoker to fly is not balance. Glide is similar to what DH has. What I do think needs to be a thing that always happens for every class that is Drac, is that when you wing buffet or tail swipe, you switch out of visage. You need to have a tail and wings to swipe or buffet with.
And only warrior, unfortunately.
The inability to mog your lizard form kills the race, for me.
The ascendance form looks much better - but nonetheless nobody really wanted a thunderclown.
If you can stretch that texture over the player models character then that’s pretty good but yeh… we want to look like an elemental lord, not a twilight’s hammer cultist.
Disappointment by no paladins or monks
